EDITORS COMMENTS
A Vision of Elegance and Grace: Lady Constance Butler on the S.Y. Miranda during Cowes Week, 1907 This photograph captures the spirit of the Edwardian era, as Lady Constance Butler, dressed in her finest yachting attire, poses on the deck of the Miranda during Cowes Week in 1907. Lady Constance, the daughter of Lord Ormonde, Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, embodies the elegance and sophistication of the yachting set during this time. The Miranda, a beautiful yacht with its sails hoisted in the background, glides effortlessly through the waters of the Solent, the body of water separating the Isle of Wight from the English mainland. The pristine white sails and gleaming wooden hull reflect the sun's rays, creating a stunning contrast against the clear blue sea. Lady Constance, with her pet pug dog nestled in her arms, exudes an air of confidence and poise. Her yachting costume, consisting of a straw boater hat, a white blouse, a long-sleeved jumper, and a navy-blue skirt, is both practical and fashionable, reflecting the functional yet stylish nature of yachting wear during this period. The pug, with its distinctive wrinkled face and curly tail, adds a playful touch to the image. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the social fabric of the yachting community during Cowes Week, an annual sailing regatta that has been taking place since 1826. The event attracted the cream of British society, who would gather to compete in various yacht races and enjoy the festivities. Lady Constance's presence on board the Miranda underscores her status as a prominent member of this elite circle. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and historical significance, transports us back to an era of elegance, grace, and sophistication, where the pursuit of sailing and the love for one's pet were intertwined in the daily lives of the yachting set.
